Chapter 1015 Changes
Qin Eryong nodded and said, “Those people who stayed in our village have tasted the sweetness and go out to talk about it from time to time.
Our village is so good that people from the surrounding villages, whenever they can't find anyone to work, come and ask if there is any work they can do.
But, sister-in-law, don't worry, as long as I'm busy here, I will definitely find help."
"Then their wages must be paid on time, and they must not be too harsh on their food."
"Sister-in-law, even if you don't tell me, I know what to do."
Zhang Juexia and Qin Eryong walked forward, talking about things in the manor. "Sister-in-law, do you think this manor is different from before?"
"It's a little different now. It looks much more organized than before."
"That's because after the house was built, we just built the road."
"Is anyone still living over there in the thatched hut?"
"No, sister-in-law, believe it or not, if I don't lead you in, you might not know the way."
"Why?"
"Because those thatched houses have been razed to the ground.
Uncle Liu and I have discussed this and are planning to clear that piece of land and see what's suitable to plant."
"You're pretty quick."
"How can I not take my sister-in-law's instructions seriously?
Besides, Brother Shen Liang comes to supervise from time to time, how dare I not be happy! "
"Shen Liang, does he come here often?"
"He comes every two or three days or so. He always responds quickly to anything I ask of him."
Zhang Juexia remembered Qin Eryong's words in her heart. She thought that when the red envelopes were distributed at the end of the year, she would give more to Shen Liang.
Qin Eryong brought Zhang Juexia to a newly built house. Zhang Juexia looked around and Li Yun, who was behind him, called out, "Brother Eryong, you are so thoughtful!
This house is exactly the same as Cuiliu Manor.
No wonder you urged your wife to come, you wanted to give her a surprise!"
Qin Eryong was still begging for praise, but Zhang Juexia didn't have the heart to pay attention to him at this moment. She walked around the room and saw that the layout inside was the same as Cuiliu Manor. She looked at Qin Eryong gratefully and said, "Eryong, you are thoughtful."
"As long as my sister-in-law likes it.
You guys clean up first, and I'll bring the food over once Yulan has prepared it."
Zhang Juexia instructed from behind, "Come and eat together then!"
The news that Zhang Juexia was staying in the manor spread quickly.
But the people in the village began to hesitate again, wondering whether they should come to see her.
In fact, the people in the village are grateful to Zhang Juexia. If it weren't for her, they would never have thought that they could live in a brick house, get paid for their work, and never go hungry again.
Several elderly women gathered at Liu Jixiang's house. Shitou's grandmother spoke first, "Jixiang, you are the head of the village. Can we go and find the lady?"
Liu Jixiang squatted at the door of his main hall, puffing on his pipe.
The tobacco leaves in the pipe were real tobacco leaves, which Eryong came to give to him personally. As soon as he picked up the pipe, he felt that life had hope.
Because before that, he couldn't even afford to smoke a cigarette.
After he finished smoking, he knocked the pipe on the ground, and said anxiously, "Jixiang, please say something!
Are you also putting on airs with us?"
Liu Jixiang raised his head and looked at these old women. To be honest, their faces looked much rosier than before.
Thanks to the lady, their meals finally had oil in them.
Shitou's milk couldn't wait any longer, "Jixiang, let's just pretend we were never here.
However, I must go to Madam's place. Without Madam's help, our Shitou would have no chance to work as a waiter in the city."
When Liu Jixiang saw Shitou's milk was about to leave, he slowly called her, "Aunt, why are you in such a hurry? Madam just came to the farm today, and Manager Qin must have a lot of things to discuss with her.
When she's done, I'll ask my wife to go to Manager Qin's house to look for Yulan."
"Jixiang, you know what, once you become the village head, your brain starts to work better.
Why didn’t I think of looking for Magnolia? "
Liu Jixiang stood up from the ground and said, "Aunts, it's a good thing you've come. Remember what Manager Qin said that day."
"What's going on?"
Liu Jixiang glared at them and said, "Yulan wants to teach the women in the village how to embroider. You can't even remember such an important thing."
One of the old ladies looked at Liu Jixiang with embarrassment, "Jixiang, this is really not our fault. Look at us, which woman in our village can hold an embroidery needle?
We work hard all year round, and our hands are in such bad shape now."
Liu Jixiang sighed, "Then let's see if there's a suitable girl in someone's family. As long as she's willing to learn, let her go to Manager Qin's house and learn from Yulan.
Let me tell you, don't just look at the present, they can't help with housework.
If you learn the embroidery skill well, you can earn much more money than farming at home.
That’s not all. With this good skill, girls will be more confident than others when looking for a husband.
Did you remember my words this time?"
"I remember."
"Then I'll trouble you ladies to help talk about it in the village.
Also, Magnolia said that she won’t charge any money and will teach everyone for free.
As long as you learn the skills well, you can earn money.
You don't have to worry about work, because our wife has several embroidery workshops!"
"Jixiang, you didn't lie to us, did you?"
Liu Jixiang was a little annoyed, "My dear aunts, am I, Liu Jixiang, very free?
I did deceive you, but could Steward Qin and his wife deceive you?"
"No, no, don't be upset, Jixiang. Compared to the past, this period of time is like heaven and earth. Aren't we still not used to it?"
"Humph, Manager Qin said that this is just the beginning, and the best days are yet to come!"
Liu Jixiang sent the old ladies away. His wife, Li Xiangyun, came out of the house. She first snatched the pipe from Liu Jixiang's hand and said, "We agreed to only smoke one pack a day."
Liu Jixiang chuckled and said, "I didn't inhale too much!"
Li Xiangyun put away her pipe and asked, "I want to ask you, is what you just said true?"
Liu Jixiang was really anxious this time, "Why don't you even believe me? When have I ever told a lie?
That day, Eryong specifically called me over to discuss this with me."
"What do you think about letting our two girls learn embroidery from Yulan?"
"Is this matter still negotiable?
I have already informed Yulan. As soon as she has finished packing, we will send our two daughters over.
However, you have to do more housework in the future."
